I always had a pretty healthy lifestyle when I was playing tennis, but since I've retired that's kind of gone out the window. Retiring has been brilliant - it's given me a real sense of freedom. I played tennis on Saturday for the first time this year.

Do you eat healthily?

Not any more. When I was competing I was always aware that you have to eat the right things to give your body the right fuel. Now there are quite a lot of big fry-ups at the golf club and a few bacon sandwiches here and there.

What's your attitude to smoking and taking drugs?

In tennis we're tested so much for performance-enhancing drugs that if you think you can take drugs and get away with it you're seriously naive. It's just not going to happen, the testing is so stringent. In terms of recreational drugs, they're not for me.

Do you worry about your weight?

If anything, since I've stopped playing I've probably lost weight. I think that's to do with my metabolism and good genes. I was also doing quite a lot of weights when I was playing and I was a bit stronger than I am now.

What exercise do you take?

I went skiing this year for the first time in probably 25 years, which was fantastic. I play five-a-side football, and a lot of golf. I never really enjoyed working in the gym and doing the cardiovascular stuff.

Ever spent a night in hospital?

I've had a few. I've got three pins in my ankle, I've had surgery on my elbow and I've had a shoulder operation. My worst injury would probably be my shoulder in 2002. It's such an important joint for tennis and it took a long time and a massive amount of rehab to really feel 100 per cent.

How do you relax?

With my family, my kids, just being at home and not travelling. I used to be away sometimes for 34, 35 weeks of the year.

How much do you drink?

I've always enjoyed wine, I've got a wine cellar at home. If I had to choose one drink though, it would probably be champagne; you feel like you're celebrating. My family has always had wine and beer on holiday so I probably tasted wine pretty early on. I never used to go out and get drunk when I was younger, though, because of the tennis.

Are you 'off sick' much?

Before I retired, almost never. I only missed two grand slams, so I think in 12 years I only missed two of the majors, and I've played close to 800 singles matches. I broke my leg in one match and in the other I had a trapped nerve in my neck. That was against Roger Federer, and he was causing enough problems without throwing a trapped nerve into the mix.

Are you happy?

Absolutely. I'm very happy, very fortunate and I think it's important to appreciate those things. My happiest win was the Masters series in Paris. It was an incredible tournament - I beat Federer, Grosjean, Kuerten, Roddick and Pavel. Personally, my happiest moments would be the births of my children and our wedding day - they'd be pretty tough to beat.
